In the great potato-filled state of Idaho, where the mountains touch the sky and the rivers run wild and free, there's a group of adventurous, fun-loving kids known as the Tater-Tot-Tubers. Here in Idaho, where the mashed potatoes are never lumpy and the French fries are as plentiful as the smiles, these kids have discovered that the best fun to be had is riding a tube down the mighty Snake River. Now, let’s picture our cool imaginary character, Spud McTuber - no, he's not a potato, although he does love them! Spud is a 10-year-old boy with freckles, a toothy grin, and goggles that are permanently slid up on his messy red hair. He's the self-proclaimed leader of the Tater-Tot-Tubers, fearless in his pursuit of the perfect tubing run. Spud and the Tater-Tot-Tubers are not your average Idaho kids. They don't spend their days playing video games or watching TV. No, sir! They're busy catching the currents of the Snake River on their inflatable tubes, whooshing and whizzing down the icy-cold water. Shrieks of laughter echo through the valley as they navigate the river bends, their cheeks flushed with the thrill of the ride. But tubing isn't all fun and games for these daring Idahoans. They've learned to study the river, understanding its moods and respecting its power. They've mastered the art of balance, as any wild river ride can result in a splashy, giggly dunking. But that's all part of the fun for Spud and the Tater-Tot-Tubers, the bravest, funniest, and tubiest kids in all of Idaho!
